Was Crown Princess Victoria a maid of honor? During the vows she was standing relatively close to the bride.

And helped the bride with her train.

From the Instagram of the Embassy of Sweden in Belgrade (4 photos)
"Today we have the honour of having HRH Crown Princess Victoria visiting Belgrade! She is attending (or more specifically she is the ”kuma” or matron of honour) at the marriage ceremony of HRH Prince Philip, son of HRH Crown Prince Alexander and Miss Danica Marinković! They just got married today (October 7th, 2017) at the Saborna church in Belgrade."https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ82z6cn...edeninbelgrade

It would also explain the short timeline; comparable to that of prince Jaime of Bourbon Parma and now princess Viktória; mid-summer announcement and early October wedding. They had their first born in february the next year.

What i found surprising is that the bridal Couple arrived before the highest ranking guests and then had to wait before the Church door until they had arrvied and entered the Church and only then bride and groom, with their father /mother went in.

Greek royal house, King Constantine and Queen Anne Marie are in South Africa. From two years ago, he has not read the speeches, but he has traveled to SuthAfrica, and in the photos they have published he is with his wife planting a tree, and they see well with the students.Today the King and Queen are in south Africa. They can not be by it, Prince Nikolaos and Princess Tatiana were in Australia in an event of an organization of help to Greece. I am struck by the non-presence of the Crown Princess of Romania, and of the Crown Prince of Greece.

It was an extremely messy arrival. Father of the groom arrives with one of the two majesties in attendance. Groom arrives with crown princess (maid of honor), bride arrives with father, and maid of honor walks into the church. Stepmother arrives with her daughter (and stepson). Stepmother acknowlegdes the groom but not the bride. Everyone else (including brother c.q. best man) just walks by. Groom's mother arrives and they walk into the church together and finally prince Guillaume and princess Sybilla arrive - clearly in a hurry... I may have missed a few but it was a very strange arrival.

Yes ki noticed that too. And then the photgraphers alweays running in the Way. It seems that there is not much space outside the Church.

I would guess that in that case it would have been even more important to coordinate the arrival of the guests and bride and groom well. No reason for such a mess. Poor bride standing there un acknowledged (other than by her groom) while guests were still arriving.

Furthermore, the street was clearly cleared of non-wedding related traffic. So, it could have been done very orderly if planned better.

The photographers were also very prominent in the church itself. The family clearly has a few more things to learn about organizing royal weddings.
